From Cannes to Nice, or Nizza, is but a short run by rail, but on reaching the latter we see at once that we have entered another country as one of the natives epigrammatically remarked, "The Emperor Napoleon made Nice France, but God made it Italy."
He had just completed a highly satisfactory report to headquarters, and was feeling contented with the universe, and the way in which it was managed. Even in the short time since the opening of the store he had managed to wake up the sluggish Britishers as if they had had an electric shock. "We," he observed epigrammatically to a passing cat, which had stopped on its way to look at him, "are it."
He put the question with the assurance of one who has a right to know. De Chauxville nodded acquiescence through the tobacco smoke. "The bane of public men private affairs," he said epigrammatically. But the attaché to the Russian Embassy was either too dense or too clever to be moved to a sympathetic smile by a cheap epigram.
So that, while Palestrina's music places God before man, that of Cherubini places man before God." Adolphe Adam puts the comparison more epigrammatically in saying: "If Palestrina had lived in our own times, he would have been Cherubini." The masters of the old Roman school of church music had received it as an emanation of pure sentiment, with no tinge of human warmth and color.
"Come," he said, "be friends, Janetta. I assure you I don't mean any harm. You must not be straight-laced. Your pretty friend is no doubt well able to take care of herself." But he looked down as he said this and knitted his brows. "She has never had occasion to do it," said Janetta, epigrammatically. "Then don't you think it is time she learns?" "You have no right to be her teacher."
There is nothing so unconvincing, so stultifying to one's statements, as to express them epigrammatically. People at once give you credit for an attempt at intellectual gymnastics which takes no regard to the truth. I will not, therefore, weary you with a diatribe upon the condition of that heterogeneous mass which is known to-day as Society.
In the language of those who dwell habitually on the banks of the river the wish is epigrammatically expressed, "May the Robe be their winding-sheet." Originally imagined as a scheme to force the hand of the Government, the Ulster invasion has been so far successful. The great actual mischief has been already done.
Love what you can understand that's the way! See how wise I've become." Bressant's laugh affected Cornelia like a deadly drug. Her speech was fettered, and she moved without her own will or guidance. "I found out just in time that I needed more body and less soul less goodness and more Cornelia!" he concluded, epigrammatically. So this was her position. It could hardly be more humiliating.
And finally, one is a little startled to hear him say, epigrammatically, that a writer should not have to tell a story, but should have a story to tell. Beyond a doubt, Anthony Trollope is something of a paradox.
Whether the brain secretes thought as the liver does bile, or whether the mind created the brain and nervous system, or, as it has been epigrammatically put in a recent work on psychology, "whether the mind has a body, or the body has a mind," I merely call attention to the fact that this confusion of meanings exists, and that its injection into the field of medicine and pathology, at least, has done an enormous amount of harm in the way of confusing problems and preventing a proper recognition of the actual facts.
